With Holden Mitrione: Freedom, Organic Intelligence®, Ayn Rand. Exploring

With Holden Mitrione: Organic Intelligence®, freedom, Ayn Rand. Exploring Laissez-faire! Let go of control! “Stop trying to control the economy! To regulate the economy! Let go of control and you will see spontaneous order, auto-regulation!” many free market people say. “Stop trying to control your biology (or nervous system)! To regulate your biology (or nervous system)! Let go of control and under the right conditions you will see spontaneous order, auto-regulation!” says Organic Intelligence. Might there be a grand analogy to explore between the free market and Organic Intelligence? Can we let go of our attempts to control? Of our attempts to regulate the economy and to regulate our biologies? Welcome everyone to this continuing series on exploring alignment between Organic Intelligence and the ideas of Ayn Rand. With me to chat is Holden Mitrione. Holden is an honors undergraduate student at Santa Fe College and is studying Economics and Accounting. You may find some of his words published by the Mises Institute, a think tank promoting Austrian economics. His primary research interests are in price theory, tax incidence theory, and the history of economic thought. He has studied and discussed Objectivism and Ayn Rand’s major fiction novels with the objectivist philosopher Dr. Dan Norton. You can reach him at holdenmitrione@gmail.com. I’m Dr. Bach Ho, PhD in philosophy, I’m an Objectivist, I taught philosophy for over a decade, studied at the Ayn Rand Institute for many years, worked as a computer programmer, serving U.S. natural security with a Top Secret security clearance (the highest level clearance), taught ethics for computer scientists, now work as an advisor for individual clients, helping them auto-organize, grow biological capacity; and I was an advisor to Steve Hoskinson, Founder of Organic Intelligence, helping him write out OI ideas, including the first peer-reviewed academic papers on OI, and helped him plan and launch the OI educational trajectory. Shout out to Roger Atlas, with whom I had preliminary discussion of the topic of parallels between Organic Intelligence and the free market. You can find a chat I had with Roger on my channel; which was a follow-up to my interview with Jean Moroney, also on my channel. And shout out to a YouTube video I found a while back in which three people who are into Austrian economics were discussing how allostasis might relate to Austrian economics. Freedom as an orchestrating principle of the economy; allostasis as an orchestrating principle of your biology, your organism. Enjoy my chat with Holden. :) Organic Intelligence® is an approach to capacity growth developed by Steve Hoskinson.
